Another way to partner with us in our ongoing investment in peoples' lives through ministry of the Word, and our commitment to body, soul and spirit...

Bible School Happenings

The Christmas Banquet not only marks the end of the term but represents all that the Lord has lavishly and bountifully provided in the first half of Bible School 2016/17. As a staff and student body we are filled with thanksgiving as we gather together to feast on the Lord's goodness in celebrating His Life and remembering Immanuel - God With Us. God with us in the here and now; God with us in the past and God with us in the future.

The Lord Jesus has been at work in the hearts and minds of each student through much teaching in the classroom and other venues. Some Bible books taught this term were Romans, Galatians, Job, I & II Peter, I Corinthians, I John and Ephesians. Through the exercise of writing "Journals" (summarizing each series) students have the opportunity to process what's been taught from the platform. This is often when application starts to take shape.

The Lord Jesus provided, through His Spirit, revelation of Himself through the Study Project preparations in the book of Mark. The evenings of presenting what each one prepared on their assigned passage was a great testimony of both His provision and enabling. This time together in Home Groups is always "huge". There is so much "learning" that takes place in so many ways!

Special Events

There has been several special events this term as the season changes from fall to winter.

The Country Night included a themed meal & pumpkin carving which were then judged by some hand chosen staff members.
The Christmas Light Up kicked off the holiday season here at Capernwray. It was a great time of fellowship as graham cracker houses were constructed, the Main Hall walls were decorated and homemade German cider was enjoyed.

Of course we couldn't miss the annual events of Caroling on the Island; a Student Talent Night, Ladies Night, Volleyball Tournament; and the Pump House Fair!

Please pray for the students that the Lord Jesus will further apply what they've been learning as they've gone from here for the Christmas Break. Some have expressed feeling nervous about going back to their "normal" lives, facing the reality of their past choices and lifestyles. With that though, also comes excitement to experience the indwelling life of Christ in a new and fresh way as they walk with Him each day. We look forward to their return on Jan. 4, 2017!

" ...put off your old self, which belongs to your former manner of life and is corrupt through deceitful desires, and to be renewed in the spirit of your minds, and to put on the new self, created after the likeness of God in true righteousness and holiness." Eph. 5 : 22-24

One of the exciting opportunities at Capernwray Harbour is the practical application of allowing the Lord Jesus to live His Life through members of the seasonal volunteer support staff team.

Volunteers are needed in areas such as housekeeping, lawns, gardens, maintenance, office, children & youth ministry and conferencing. In being fully available to the Lord Jesus, we give Him our eyes to see, hands to serve, feet to go and mouth to speak as the expression of His Life.

If you would like to become a member of the seasonal support staff volunteer team for Spring Break in March or over the summer from May - August, please download the Seasonal Staff Application form below.
